I'm not saying that ARF is the best or whatever; just that SOMETHING would be better than the mysterious, undefined IWS. It would even be mo' bettah if the acronym had two meanings; a public one, and one that Lainey and/or her friends laughingly use. SCARF: Seriously Crazy Animal Rescuer Feminists, which in public could be Something-City Animal Rescuer Feminists, or whatever. Or something-citizens ARF. Serious Citizens, or Staunch Citizens' ARF.

Man, you could go wild with that stuff. I know that Gregg said that he wanted the readers to GUESS, but...that kinda doesn't ring right for me.

I feel like it's just MISSING something.

I have changed my tune on that, Hitch. They convinced me in the other thread (the blurb thread, which this cover thread has turned into). But I have to have something with three initials in it because the IWS is in the book many times, and they do have an organization and they're called "IWSers." I'm not committed to IWS but ARF won't work because I plan on this being a series on various animals.
